Earlier, K. A. Sengottaiyan during a press interaction a few days back announced that students are being prepared for their exams through online coaching as well as by referring to the Kalvi channel. Scheduled initially to take place towards the end of March, the Tamil Nadu SSLC public exams were indefinitely postponed owing to the coronavirus pandemic, which has left over 11,000 people affected by the disease in the state with Chennai city's total crossing 7,000 positive COVID-19 cases. With the lockdown across Tamil Nadu announced to come to an end on May 31, relaxations are being given by the government, but with necessary precautions being taken as the people are still advised to stay indoors and adhere to social distancing, and wear masks at all times. It remains to be seen whether the children attending the 10th standard public exams too will be asked to wear masks in light of the COVID-19 virus outbreak.
